@ewtn_news: Immediately following Mass, Pope Leo XIV got visibly emotional after being met with cheers and a long ovation for his presence among the faithful. Moments earlier, he had delivered his powerful call to the youth of the Church: “Dear young people, today Europe and the whole world are looking to you to be new saints.” That was Pope Leo's charge to thousands gathered at the Portiuncula in Assisi. Celebrating Mass for 2,500 participants of the GO! Franciscan Youth Meeting, the Holy Father urged young people to follow the example of St. Francis and St. Clare, who embraced the Gospel sine glossa—"we could say, in its simplicity"—letting Christ completely reshape their lives.

When I’m having a rough day, I watch the video of the close up on his face when he was announced for the first time as Pope Leo. It fills me with joy and it’s what I imagine God looks at us like.
